“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

People are worth protecting regardless of productivity.

Happy #PrideMonth! Enjoy a Tesla getting smashed by a light rail train with a pride flag.

I WISH THIS FOR YOU. Okay maybe not 100% of you. But many.

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

Am I being over-sensitive here or does the term “side effects” have an inherent negative connotation and therefore this headline is sci-comm malpractice? The “side effects” are reduced risk of serious cardiac complications and reduced risk of all-cause cardiac events. Benefits. That’s the word.

in this heat we are officially a set of airconditioned corridors attached to a rural history collection

The Angel Belly of Cleansing is here to heal your timeline. Photo from my collection, ca. 1970s.

Ok you guys. Here’s the deal. The M7.1 in Venezuela was upgraded to a M7.2. AND it was followed shortly by a M7.5. Not good.

For the first time on record, solar generated more electricity than coal across the entire U.S. - despite active federal policy pushing the other direction. Read more at the link below!

A short thread on the hail storm yesterday. Wall of water at the water dish. Normal speed then slow motion.

At the Dr, wearing a T-shirt that is 30 years old and feeling old "Yeah we can adjust meds, kid isn't living at home anymore" "Oh hey I have a 6 month old, wanna see pics?" Yes! Also 💀

I think fans of sports teams should normalize pressuring billionaire owners to divest from things that actively harm their communities. Keep yelling at billionaires, tbh. It’s possible some of them can be shamed and/or are smart enough to listen to customers for business reasons.

Dude, actual leftist extremists would be calling for the forced seizure of wealth for redistribution, destruction of the capitalist system, radical measures to stem climate change, and more. Not “let’s tax rich people a little more and give kids free lunch.”

I don't watch that kind of movie

Do you know the difference between heat exhaustion and heatstroke? It could save a life. Heat exhaustion: headache, dizziness, nausea, cramps. Heatstroke: confusion, collapse, seizures. Heatstroke is a life-threatening emergency. Know the signs. Act early. #BeatTheHeat

Lordy. They really need to pay their subeditors properly.

I don't think the water needs to be potable to be valuable but I do think the preference for privatizing the drinkable stuff is the main draw for technofascists (to expand their coercive power/political influence).

Climate.us is officially live! After NOAA ended Climate.gov’s day-to-day operations in 2025, former team members built Climate.us to carry that work forward. Their explanations and graphics have always stood out to me as clear, accessible, and transparent. I’m really looking forward to this reboot.

I saw birds and it was amazing! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Nobody is making profits. It is going to burst and it is going to take all those data centers with it. Keep your skills. Practice your crafts. Hold on to your books. Stay sharp.

I don't want to get ready to bird, wake up early, and drive to the meeting point (yeah I'm not even driving the carpool) I just want to see the birds!

This is so cool! Absolutely do not click thru if you don't think spiders are neat

Always worth a listen. Good people.

Happy Father’s Day to the dumpster, who is arguably my dad

Today in AI Is Not A Good Source For Learning About The World's Most Misunderstood Body Part, meet this ChatGPT gem. Funnily enough, we're actually going to talk about how most of this is kinda sorta right (for small values of right), as a cautionary tale about generative AI.

Fireworks already? Glad my poor cat already got her pills...

I believe she paid. Even if she had stolen. Even if it wasn't something as necessary as diapers. We don't put people to death for theft. (I mean obviously we do but that's not what's supposed to happen)

I know it has been a crazy few weeks, but we keep getting media emails about signings that are not yet listed on the transactions page and sometimes are on the PWHL news page and sometimes are on the individual news page and IDK, it's nuts to get a press release and be unable to link to it

I am beyond proud of the devoted work our freelancers have been putting in these last few months. Realistically, we need many more monthly supporters to sustain their work long-term. Reporting and labor costs keep expanding. If you haven't yet, now is a great time to sign up:

Y'all. This is a cancer vaccine. It just also happens to prevent a super common sti that when I was a kid it was assumed done 80% of people would get before they died. And people are refusing to vaccinate their kids because Precious and Junior would never do that! Argh

*why* does Nathan Martha's Vineyard have 3 to 4 times the deer density as it should? (Among other human reasons) Deer do really well in human lawn habitat. I'm gonna take this opportunity to urge you to replace some of your turf yard with native plants
